EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Templedean Female Industrial Home for Haddington, East Lothian, circa 1906. The image shows a group of young girls standing proudly in front of the imposing red-brick building, which was one of several such establishments founded by philanthropist John Christie. John Christie was a Scottish businessman and social reformer who dedicated his life to improving the lives of children in need. He established the Templedean Homes to provide accommodation, education, and social welfare for girls who were orphaned, abandoned, or in need of care. The homes offered a safe and nurturing environment where girls could learn valuable skills and receive an education, preparing them for a better future. The girls in the photograph appear to be dressed in their best clothes, perhaps for a special occasion, and they radiate a sense of pride and happiness. The building behind them, with its grand facade and well-tended gardens, speaks to the care and attention given to the girls in its charge. This photograph offers a glimpse into a time when social welfare and care for children were not taken for granted, but were the result of the dedication and generosity of individuals like John Christie. The Templedean Female Industrial Home for Haddington was just one of many such establishments that made a profound difference in the lives of countless children, providing them with a sense of security, stability, and hope for a brighter future.
